Koren miscontrols, but is still first to the ball. Hull go wide to their right again. Patient build-up, waiting for gaps to open up. Huddlestone then spreads play wonderfully to Boyd. Figueroa offers support, but sees a cross blocked.

GOAL HULL - HUDDLESTONE. Deserved goal for Huddlestone, Fulham can only clear their lines to the edge of the box. Huddlestyone gathers, skips inside one man and fires into the bottom corner with his left foot from 25 yards out.

GOAL HULL - BOYD. The floodgates have opened. Boyd is picked out on the edge of the box. He is allowed to turn and face the target, work the ball onto his left foot and drill across Stockdale and into the bottom corner.

Good pressing again from Hull as Fulham have no choice but to go back to their keeper. Hosts have worked harder today and have provided the greater threat. They are in again here, but Livermore drills a cross from the right over the heads of those in the middle.

Amorebieta floats the ball forward. His pass is very straight and Rodallega has to jump early to try and get anything on it. He can't and the ball bounces into the hands of McGregor. A bit desperate from the visitors.

Fulham all over the place and not tracking runners. Boyd has been lively down Hull's left and he is able to burst into the box again. Hughes recovers in time to put in a sliding block from a tight angle.

GOAL HULL - ELMOHAMADY. Huddlestone whips over the corner. The ball makes its way to Elmohamady, who is allowed to knock it down inside the box, spin and volley into the back of the net from 12 yards out.

Double stop from Stockdale. Huddlestone rolls into Sagbo, who is in acres of space. He decides to shoot despite having options either side and sees his effort beaten out. Koren there on the follow up, but his effort is also blocked.

Dangerous delivery whipped over by Figueroa, which is bumped up into the air off Hughes' knee. Fulham can only half-clear and Huddlestone returns the ball with interest, flashing a 25-yard drive inches past the post.

Fulham are too far apart. They have the ball at the back and four spread out up top. They need to fill the gaps in midfield and try to play their way through. All too easy for Hull to keep them at arm's length.

A loose ball falls to Huddlestone 35 yards out. He is urged to shoot by the crowd, and obliges. He catches his effort all wrong and it is scuffed well wide of the target. Sabo then swings a cross into the arms of Stockdale.

Sagbo looks to run in behind, but a pass fed towards him is played to feet. Easily cut out. Hull remain on the front foot, though, and have numbers forward. The move breaks down and Fulham can stroll clear.

Rosenior with a poor clearance which gives the ball away. Neither side able to get a foot on it at the moment. Hull the first to settle again as they move through midfield. Elmohamady has a cross blocked from the right. He tries again, but finds Stockdale.

Rodallega with a cushioned header into the path of Dejagah. He takes a touch to set himself before unleashing a dipping volley from 30 yards out. His radar is well off as the ball sails miles wide of the target.

Not too much movement from the hosts, but they work an angle and win a corner off Riise. Huddlestone trots over to another set-piece. Latest delivery falls into a group of players. Handball shout falls on deaf ears.

Sidwell with a hurried clearance from inside his own box. Hull have the ball back on halfway. Rosenior able to send over a cross, but Fulham have plenty of bodies back. They are, however, struggling to get out of their own half again.

Terrible defending from Fulham tees up Koren 25 yards from goal. His shot is blocked, but runs into the path of Elmohamady. He drills low first time with the outside of his boot, but Stockdale gets down easily to save.

Clever flick from Ruiz takes him past Figueroa, but Boyd is doing his defensive bit for the collective cause and tracks back to clear into the stands. Fulham keep pressing, but Ruiz is crowded out 25 yards from goal. Hull counter, but Sagbo takes too long to make up his mind after reaching the edge of the box.

Nice cushioned touch from Boyd intio the feet of Livermore. He spots Sagbo darting down the channel, but the pass has too much on it and runs away from the Hull striker. Nice idea. Fulham edge down their right with a couple of throws.

Riise well forward down the left, but a tame low cross is easily cut out. Elmohamady tries to lrad a counter, but sends the ball out for a throw. Too eager to get on his bike. Fulham move from left to right.

Huddlestone drills under the wall this time. Sagbo tries to get a touch at the near post, but the ball is prodded behind for a corner. Set-piece punched clear, but Karagounis then trips Boyd. Fulham can't get out.

Hull remain on the front foot and a ball delivered to the back post is volleyed into the floor by Boyd. His effort bounces up and is touched over by Stockdale. Fulham rattled and Boyd is then sent tumbling by Rodaleega. Free-kick on the edge of the box from almost on the by-line.

Riise nods safely back to Stockdale. His long clearance is aimed at Ruiz, but he is hardly noted for his aerial prowess and jumpos under the ball. Fun and games on the touchline as Meulensteen follows Bruce's lead by delaying giving the ball back for a throw. All smiles on the touchline.

Boyd bundled over by Zverotic wide on the Hull left. Opportunity to load the box from a position not too dissimilar to a corner. Huddlestone delivers. He fires low towards the front post, where Stockdale gathers on the bounce. Safe hands.

Terrible touch from Rodallega presents Hull with a throw. Boyd touches on to Sagbo, but Zverotic is there to poke the ball out of play again. Hosts edging down their left flank. Figueroa tries a long throw. Fulham struggle to clear and almost allow Huddlestone to pounce.

Rodallega crowded out on the edge of the box. Hull hammer long towards the corner flag, with Sagbo a willing runner up top. Tackles flying in and Boyd sends Zverotic sprawling. He is slow back to his feet.

Zverotic with a throw from the right. Fulham can't string anything together. Figeuroa has a chance to send Koren racing in behind, but fails to get enough elevation on his pass. Ball ends up back with Stockdale.

Ruiz bundled off the ball by Boyd. A couple of long punts then exchanged by both sides. Hull look right again, with Koren found in space. He sends over another great ball, which Sagbo is inches away from connecting with.

Rosenior with an early throw down the right. A dangerous cross is whipped into the middle of the box, but Fulham have numbers back and Stockdale is able to gather.

Hull City get us up and running.

'Eye of the Tiger' rings out around the KC as the teams enter the arena - great nickname to have! Pre-match formalities under way and we are almost ready for the off.

The players are in the tunnel. We will leave the feedback there for now but there will be further opportunities to have your say at half-time and at the final whistle.

Alan Curbishley taking his seat in the stands - now on the pay roll at Fulham. Countdown to kick-off very much on, as are the floodlights - winter football well and truly uopn us.

Matt Merchant says: "I'm a Fulham fan and I think they played well at Norwich on Boxing Day, but Hull at home are very difficult to beat."

Haven't been able to get my hands on an official team sheet so have gone old school and marked the starting XIs on my programme - haven't done that since I was a kid!

Some of the players starting to head back down the tunnel. A little over 15 minutes until kick-off at the KC Stadium. Ground filling up nicely, with a hardy bunch of travelling fans having taken to their seats.

You can also bet in-play throughout the afternoon at Skybet.com. Hull City start as favourites at 11/10, with Fulham 5/2 and the draw 23/10. You can get the Tigers to win and both teams to score at 7/2.

Can Hull City get back to winning ways or will Fulham head home with the spoils? Who will be the key men? Let me know your thoughts.

The problem for the visitors is that they have the worst defensive record in the division - having shipped 35 goals in 18 games - and have already tasted defeat on 12 occasions - a joint-worst record alongside Crystal Palace.

Fulham will also be hoping to start climb the standings this afternoon. The Cottagers are currently inside the drop zone, but only goal difference is keeping them there so a positive result here would offer a welcome shot in the arm.

There is a chance that victory today would lift Steve Bruce's side back into the top-half of the table, so they will be thinking positively and looking up.

The Tigers head into the game without a win in five, but they have collected three draws during that run and were narrowly edged out in a five-goal thriller with Manchester United on Boxing Day.

Welcome to the KC Stadium for our coverage of today's Premier League encounter between Hull City and Fulham.
